Have only 21 hours on Revo and ham having a real problem wet or dry reaching the knobs. I think it is due to the wing. When there is some dil in it and it expands a bit I cant seem to get at the knobs. Any suggestions (5’7”, not long arms). Thanks
 
I don't dive a revo but experienced the same issue on my KISS Classic, which is quite a short unit.

I an 6'4" with arms like a gibbon but they just didn't bend right somehow.

Solved it by mounting cylinders lower but not sure if that's feasible on yours
 
Although the rEvo case will make the valves further out from you than some other units, even an extremely short person (read as short arms) can still get to the valves. Make sure your harness is not holding the unit too high and that it is tight enough that the rEvo is not floating away from your back while in the water.

Thank you for you response. No, 18 pounds. I received some suggestions and am heading to Bonaire to get some easy diving hours to figure it out. Dove thousands of hours on my steel 100s and LP 85s in caves. Just trying something new. Again, appreciate your clarification. Thank you
 
The micros are short I reach for my armpits then down rather than from my hips up I used to have a mini it was definitely easier
 
The direction of the approach, interesting. Ill be certain to try that as well. Thank yiu.
